Set in the world of Chinese wuxia storytelling, Swordsman sends players on a journey to become the ultimate hero in the aftermath of a catastrophic massacre. After choosing from one of 10 martial arts schools, warriors will need to master legendary martial arts skills to become one with their weapons and engage their adversaries in intense PvP action.

Since its original launch in June 2014, Swordsman has been updated regularly with additional content, including new weapons, dungeons, as well as new systems for companions and guilds.
